INSURANCE BENEFITS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU DON’T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT! Denture wearers can boast the ability to smile at everyone they pass by in their day-to-day life, with no fear of receiving the bristling looks back that one might get if they’re missing many teeth. When you replace your teeth with dentures, you can also expect to eat and speak fairly normally. There may be a few exceptions when it comes to difficult to bite or chew foods, but in general, you can continue a normal life as if you had never lost your natural teeth. There are always going to be questions about how something cumbersome like a denture can possibly be comfortable in your mouth. Your Farmington Hills dentist, Dr. Aziza Askari, will answer some of the most frequently asked questions on this particular topic.
FAQs on Dentures and Comfort
Q1. What anchors dentures to my mouth?
A1. Dentures rely on natural suction or adhesives to stay extra secure.
Q2. Will the custom-fit last if I opt for a high-quality set of dentures?
A2. No matter how high the quality of your dentures, they may very well become loose and require adjustment over time. A highly secure form of tooth replacement would be dental implants, which include a root-like structure implanted into your gums. When teeth are missing, there can be bone loss and gum recession, so once snug dentures will likely require a tune-up every now and then to keep them feeling tight and comfortable.
Q3. Do loose dentures look any different?
A3. There can be an embarrassing visual element when loose dentures are slipping around in your mouth. Beyond that, the feeling can be physically irritating. There are two ways to relieve ill-fitted denture discomfort: take them out, or have them adjusted. There is no point in replacing missing teeth if you’re only going to wear your dentures in public and be uncomfortable all the while. If your dentures are loose or slipping, don’t hesitate to contact your  Farmington Hills dentist.
